6) Social media is hijacking your brain
Social media is designed to keep you hooked.
Every like, comment, or new post triggers a dopamine hit, making it harder to pull yourself away.
Before you know it, what was supposed to be a quick check turns into 30 minutes of mindless scrolling.

It shortens your attention span, making it harder to focus on deep, meaningful work without feeling the urge to check your phone.
